Ahsoka season 2 has added Death Stranding star Tommie Earl Jenkins to the cast as a still-unknown character. But Star Wars fans have put two and two together and come up with a theory we can get behind: what if Jenkins is playing Lando Calrissian?
Reports of Jenkins' casting in Ahsoka season 2 emerged in April 2026 when Star Wars sleuths noticed Ahsoka season 2 on Jenkins' Actors Access page. While never officially confirmed by Disney, we now know that Jenkins will appear in season 2 as Sabine Wren star Natasha Liu Bordizzo posted that Jenkins' scenes in the new season "made her cry" in a response on Instagram. And it's this emotional reaction that has put the Lando theory machine into overdrive.
The theory, posted by moraithemessenger on X, is supported by a few pieces of circumstantial evidence. First, Jenkins must be playing a significant character if his scenes were enough to make his co-star Bordizzo cry, not simply some random Rebel commander. Second, Jenkins reportedly filmed scenes with Eman Esfandi's Ezra Bridger. And perhaps most importantly, Lando already crossed paths with the Rebels crew in the season one episode, 'Idiot's Array'.
" Jenkins playing Lando would certainly make anyone who saw his scene-stealing performance as Die-Hardman in Death Stranding happy.
